Designed for children with disabilities and their families or school groups, this access program provides a welcoming, accessible, and affordable introduction to the performing arts at Lincoln Center at no cost.
“My husband is a jazz fanatic. Although our kids have spent years listening to records, we had never been able to take them to hear jazz performed live because of their specific needs. Thanks to Lincoln Center, he was finally able to share his passion with his children. Thank you so much for this gift.”
— Passport Program Member
“This program offers us an opportunity to enjoy the concert as a family, including our special needs daughter, without the worries. We can breathe and enjoy the music and give her a truly high caliber experience we’d normally not be able to provide due to her challenges.”
